After the 2024 Paris Olympics, French President Macron must make a decision: Who will be the next French Prime Minister?
According to the official French schedule, Macron will convene leaders of various political parties for a series of consultations this Friday (23rd) in order to form a government after the general election.
Earlier, Macron had said he would appoint a new prime minister after the Paris Olympics, and stressed that the divided parties in parliament must first unite to build a broad coalition.
"In the legislative elections, the French people expressed their desire for change and broad consensus. In a spirit of responsibility, all political leaders must work to achieve this aspiration," Macron's presidential office said in a statement, adding that the appointment of a new prime minister would follow those talks.
According to an incomplete compilation by the First Financial Daily reporter, the three most popular prime ministers at present are Lucie Castets, the candidate of the Left-wing Alliance, Bernard Cazeneuve, the former Socialist, and Xavier Bertrand, a conservative from the center-right alliance.
